Bird Prints — Sets of 3
Three birds, one wall. Ready-made trios from the restored plates — Audubon's three great owls, the backyard birds everyone knows, the hummingbirds — each matched for scale and ground so they hang as a set. Or pick any three from the whole bird archive: the 10% set discount applies to any three prints at checkout.

Why trios of birds work
The plates share a visual grammar — one bird, a branch, a plain or softly washed ground — so three from the same source hang as a set without any curation. Keep the edition consistent (three full-bleed, or three cream-ground specimens), keep the frames identical, and the wall reads as one idea.
Making your own
Pick by family (three owls, three warblers, three herons), by colour (cardinal, tanager, grosbeak for a red wall) or by place (your state bird plus two neighbours). The specimen editions carry the species and Latin name on a typeset label, which makes a mixed trio feel like a museum case.
Sizing and the discount
Three 12×18s suit a hallway or over a desk; three 16×24s span a sofa or bed. Any three or more prints take 10% off automatically at checkout — no code — and standard shipping is free worldwide.
